A member asked:
Is it something bad to have a hole the size of a pea in your tonsil that bleeds with an outline of black with white beneath the black and serious pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ENT: this could be a peritonsillar abscess with necrotic material.I certainly advise immediate ENT evaluation, especially since you feel that the pain is "serious".
